With high prolactin what do you order?

MRI of pituitary gland (for pituitary adenoma; prolactinoma)

What is the management of HP axis dysfunctino

identify modifiable underlying cuase. Combined OCP to decrease risk of osteoporosis, maintain normal vaginal and breast development (not proven to work)

What is the most common cause of premature ovarian failure?

autoimmune

What is the most important Ix for short stature with a normal growth velocity

Bone age (will be normal in familial and delayed in constitutional)

How do you diagnose PCOS

1) Clinical/biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism 2) ovarian dysfunction (oligo/anovulation or polycystic ovaries) 3) exclusion of other androgen excess or ovulatory disorders

How do you remember PCOS (HAIR-AN)

Hirstusism, hyperandrogenism, infertility, insulin resistance, aconthosis nigricans

what does an increase in LH do to your ovaries

an ovulation then oligomenorrhea, then infertility

What are the short term consequences of PCOS

obesity, infertility, depression, sleep apnea, irregular menses, abnormal lipids, Non alcoholic fatty liver, hirutism/acne, androgenic alopecia, insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans

What are the long term consequences of PCOS

DM, endometrial CA, cardiovascular disease

does US showing no cyst on ovaries r/o PCOS?

What do you need to include in the workup of PCOS and why?

DHEAS(CAH/adrenal tumour), Cortisol (cushing, cortisol resistance), Prolactin, Tsh, IGF-1 (hyperprolactinemia, thyroid dysfunction, acromegaly)

Why do you test for DHEAS in workup of PCOS?

for endocrine cause (CAH/adrenal tumour)

Why do you test for cortisol in workup of PCOS?

cushing/cortisol resistance

Why do you test for Prolactin, TSH, Free t4, and IGF1 in workup for pCOS?

hyperprolactinemia, thyroid dysfunction, acromegaly

What is the most sensitive test for PCOS?

A 16 year old woman presents for evaluation of pelvic pain. She has advanced breast and sexual hair development. Her examination is significant for imperforate hymen. A transvaginal ultrasound shows the finding below. A transvaginal ultrasound shows normal female pelvic anatomy. What is this patient’s expected karyotype? 45, XO D. 45,X/46XX 46, XX E. 47XXY 46, XY

46XX

An 17 year old nulligravida presents with primary amenorrhea. Her examination is notable for Tanner stage IV breast and absence of pubic and axillary hair. Also, a blind ending vagina is identified. What is the likely diagnosis in this patient? ``` Mullerian agenesis Premature ovarian failure Androgen insensitivity syndrome Congenital adrenal hyperplasia normal physiological changes ```

Androgen Insensitivity syndrome With Mullerian Agenesis you have pubic hair because ovaries are intact.

In those without menses, which of the following clinical scenarios meets the definition of Amenorrhea? A 12 year old woman with Tanner stage I breast development A 16 year old woman with Tanner stage II breast development A 14 year old woman with Tanner stage III breast development An 18 year old woman with Tanner stage V breast development and cessation of menses for the last two cycles E. An 18 year old woman with Tanner stage V breast development and cessation of menses for the forty days

B- 16 year old woman with Tanner stage II breast development

Which of the following chemotherapeutic classes is most damaging to the ovaries? ``` Antimetabolites Alkylating agents Antibiotic agents Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues None of the above ```

Alkylating agents

Which of the following is the true of Kallmann syndrome? A. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons fail to develop B. Intact sense of the smell differentiates it from other similar conditions C. It is a condition that leads to hypergonadotropic hypogonadism D. It is also associated with other abnormalities such as cerebellar ataxia and midline facial defects. E. None of the above

.D- It is also associated with other abnormalities such as cerebellar ataxia and midline facial defects CONCEPT; Hypogonadotropic No sense of smell

Which of the following hormones is NOT produced by the anterior pituitary glands? ``` Oxytocin Prolactin Growth hormone Adrenocorticotropin hormone TSH ```

Oxytocin

A 25 yo woman, G3P3, comes to clinic b/c she has not had a menstrual period since giving birth vaginally, to her 3rd child 13 mo ago. This delivery was complicated by postpartum hemorrhage which required dilatation and curettage. She has been breast feeding the infant for 4 months. She has no medical history but states she has a long-standing history of bloating and mood changes that occur with menses. . Examination and review of systems including thyroid, breast and pelvic are normal. Serum TSH, FSH and prolactin are within the reference range. Qualitative serum β-hCG is negative and a progestin challenge shows no withdrawal bleeding. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? a) Premature ovarian failure b) Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction c) Asherman’s syndrome d) Hyperprolactinemia e) Pregnancy

c)Asherman’s syndrome

A 19-year-old woman comes to clinic because she has never had a menstrual period. On history taking, she states that she has also had a lifelong inability to differentiate smells. Breast development is Tanner stage 2 and there is sparse pubic and axillary hair. Pelvic examination shows a normal-appearing cervix. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? a) Craniopharyngioma b) Delayed puberty c) Growth hormone deficiency d) Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (Kallmann syndrome) e) Pituitary adenoma

d)Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (Kallmann syndrome)

An 18-yo woman comes to clinic b/c she has not had a menstrual period for the past year. Even after a 7-day course of medroxyprogesterone, she did not have withdrawal bleeding. She is not sexually active and has no medical history. She is 157 cm tall and weighs 50 kg. Breasts development is Tanner stage 2, and pubic hair development is Tanner stage 5. Pelvic exam shows a normal vagina, cervix and a prepubertal-sized uterus. Serum studies show FSH of 2 mlU/mL(Low), prolactin and normal TSH . An MRI of the brain shows no abnormalities. If left untreated over the next 10 yrs, what is this patient at greatest risk for? a) Obesity b) Hirsutism c) Osteoporosis d) Endometrial cancer e) Coronary artery disease

Osteoporosis

An 18‐year‐old woman presents with primary amenorrhea. Which one of the following findings best supports the diagnosis of Turner syndrome? a) Hypertension b) Hirsutism c) Short stature d) Epicanthal folds e) Normal external genitalia
